Adrian Baker

Adrian Baker (born: January 18, 1951) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and music producer.

Originally from London, England, Baker made his debut as a singer on magnet/Epic Records in the United Kingdom. In 1975, he released his first solo album, Into A Dream (MAG 5009). From that album, he had several hits on Britain's Music Week charts and performed on the BBC’s “Top of the Pops” TV program several times. As a music producer, Baker is well known across Europe for his dance hit productions with the group Liquid Gold. He twice attempted to write the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, reaching the A Song For Europe final in both 1979 and 1981. His first finalist, Miss Caroline Newley, performed by the band M Squad finished 11th of the 12 songs in 1979. But in 1981, his song Don't Panic, performed by Liquid Gold finished in 2nd place and had the rare distinction of being a losing song from the A Song For Europe contest to make the singles chart, reaching no. 42. However, in the United States, he is best known for being the falsetto voice for the touring Beach Boys band (on and off) since 1981 (1981-82, 1988 - 1993, 1998 - 2004). Baker was also a member of The Four Seasons with Frankie Valli from 1994-'95.
